DETAILED DESCRIPTION

It will be readily understood that the components of the embodiments, asgenerally described and illustrated in the figures herein, may bearranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations inaddition to the described example embodiments. Thus, the following moredetailed description of the example embodiments, as represented in thefigures, is not intended to limit the scope of the embodiments, asclaimed, but is merely representative of example embodiments.

Reference throughout this specification to “one embodiment” or “anembodiment” (or the like) means that a particular feature, structure, orcharacteristic described in connection with the embodiment is includedin at least one embodiment. Thus, the appearance of the phrases “in oneembodiment” or “in an embodiment” or the like in various placesthroughout this specification are not necessarily all referring to thesame embodiment.

Furthermore, the described features, structures, or characteristics maybe combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In thefollowing description, numerous specific details are provided to give athorough understanding of embodiments. One skilled in the relevant artwill recognize, however, that the various embodiments can be practicedwithout one or more of the specific details, or with other methods,components, materials, et cetera. In other instances, well knownstructures, materials, or operations are not shown or described indetail to avoid obfuscation.

People like to have live plants and trees as decorative elements intheir home. These plants and trees require water in order to keep themalive. In some cases watering these plants and trees may be difficult.For example, if the container holding the plant is on the floor, thisrequires that a person bend over with a heavy watering device in orderto water the plants. Additionally, since some plants and trees requirelarge amounts of water, the amount of water necessary may be too heavyto carry in a single trip, thereby requiring multiple trips.Additionally, some people like the look, feel, and/or smell of a realevergreen tree as a Christmas tree. In the case of a Christmas tree, thetree is normally located in a tree stand that includes a reservoir forholding water. Unfortunately, because these trees typically have needlesand wider branches at the bottom of the tree towards the tree stand,watering them may be difficult and sometimes painful.

One current solution for easing the burden of watering plants orChristmas trees is a funnel like device. The funnel is generallyattached to an upper portion of the plant with a tube going down theplant to the plant's container. This assists with the issues of bendingdown to water a plant. However, an issue with this approach is that thefunnel cannot be very large because the branches of the plant may not bestrong enough to hold a significant amount of weight, causing thewatering to become more time consuming. This causes a new problem inthat the person watering the plant has to hold the heavy weight of thewater for a longer period of time which may additionally be at anelevation which may be uncomfortable for the person.

One solution to this new issue has been to provide a reservoir forholding the water. From the reservoir a tube (or other fluid transportdevice) is provided that can be placed in the plant container. The userthen fills the reservoir and the water flows from the reservoir to theplant. The issue with this approach is that this method relies on agravity feed system, meaning the reservoir has be located above theplant's container. This may not be a feasible option for every plantthat a person may have.

Accordingly, an embodiment provides a method of providing water to aplant or tree using a pump system. The benefit of this approach over thecurrent reservoir system is that the reservoir where the water is beingdrawn from does not have to be above the container holding the plant ortree. In other words, the reservoir could be on the floor and even ifthe water level in the reservoir is lower than the plant container, thesystem will still operate. The pump will create the suction required tocause the water to flow from the reservoir to the container holding theplant. The pump may be enclosed in a decorative ornament assembly thatcan be hung on a plant's branches. The benefit to this approach over thefunnel approach is that the branches only have to hold the weight of theornament assembly rather than the additional weight of the water orfluid.

In one embodiment, the activation of the pump may be accomplished usinga control mechanism. In one embodiment, this control mechanism may becontrolled by an electronic device (e.g., smart phone, tablet, smartwatch, timer, etc.). For example, the control mechanism may bewirelessly connected to a user's smart phone. This wireless electroniccontrol may allow a person to set the pump to run at a specified time orthe person may not even have to approach the plant to water it.Additionally, this may allow a person to water the plant even if theyare not at home.

The illustrated example embodiments will be best understood by referenceto the figures. The following description is intended only by way ofexample, and simply illustrates certain example embodiments.

While various other circuits, circuitry or components may be utilized ininformation handling devices, with regard to smart phone and/or tabletcircuitry 100, an example illustrated in FIG. 1 includes a system on achip design found for example in tablet or other mobile computingplatforms.

As is apparent from the description herein,embodiments may include other features or only some of the features ofthe example illustrated in FIG. 2.

The example of FIG. 2 includes a so-called chipset 210 (a group ofintegrated circuits, or chips, that work together, chipsets) with anarchitecture that may vary depending on manufacturer (for example,INTEL, AMD, ARM, etc.). INTEL is a registered trademark of IntelCorporation in the United States and other countries. AMD is aregistered trademark of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. in the UnitedStates and other countries. ARM is an unregistered trademark of ARMHoldings plc in the United States and other countries. The architectureof the chipset 210 includes a core and memory control group 220 and anI/O controller hub 250 that exchanges information (for example, data,signals, commands, etc.) via a direct management interface (DMI) 242 ora link controller 244. In FIG. 2, the DMI 242 is a chip-to-chipinterface (sometimes referred to as being a link between a “northbridge”and a “southbridge”). The core and memory control group 220 include oneor more processors 222 (for example, single or multi-core) and a memorycontroller hub 226 that exchange information via a front side bus (FSB)224; noting that components of the group 220 may be integrated in a chipthat supplants the conventional “northbridge” style architecture. One ormore processors 222 comprise internal arithmetic units, registers, cachememory, busses, I/O ports, etc., as is well known in the art.

In FIG. 2, the memory controller hub 226 interfaces with memory 240 (forexample, to provide support for a type of RAM that may be referred to as“system memory” or “memory”). The memory controller hub 226 furtherincludes a low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) interface 232 for adisplay device 292 (for example, a CRT, a flat panel, touch screen,etc.). A block 238 includes some technologies that may be supported viathe LVDS interface 232 (for example, serial digital video, HDMI/DVI,display port). The memory controller hub 226 also includes a PCI-expressinterface (PCI-E) 234 that may support discrete graphics 236.

In FIG. 2, the I/O hub controller 250 includes a SATA interface 251 (forexample, for HDDs, SDDs, etc., 280), a PCI-E interface 252 (for example,for wireless connections 282), a USB interface 253 (for example, fordevices 284 such as a digitizer, keyboard, mice, cameras, phones,microphones, storage, other connected devices, etc.), a networkinterface 254 (for example, LAN), a GPIO interface 255, a LPC interface270 (for ASICs 271, a TPM 272, a super I/O 273, a firmware hub 274, BIOSsupport 275 as well as various types of memory 276 such as ROM 277,Flash 278, and NVRAM 279), a power management interface 261, a clockgenerator interface 262, an audio interface 263 (for example, forspeakers 294), a TCO interface 264, a system management bus interface265, and SPI Flash 266, which can include BIOS 268 and boot code 290.The I/O hub controller 250 may include gigabit Ethernet support.

For example,the circuitry outlined in FIG. 1 may be implemented in a tablet or smartphone embodiment, whereas the circuitry outlined in FIG. 2 may beimplemented in a personal computer embodiment.

In the explained embodiment, an example Christmas tree will be used forease of explanation. However, it should be obvious to one skilled in theart that these teachings can be applied to more than just Christmastrees and can extend to anything that needs watered or fluid transportedfrom one location to another, for example, decorative plants or trees.

FIGS. 3A-3D show an example ornament assembly 300. FIGS. 3A-3C showsexample side views. FIG. 3D shows an example top view. The example shownin FIGS. 3A-3D is only for illustrative purposes. Other arrangements andconfigurations including other parts or excluding parts shown arecontemplated.

In one embodiment, the ornament assembly 300 may comprise an attachmentmechanism. For example, the ornament assembly 300 may include a hook,clip, or other device which would allow a user to attach the ornamentassembly 300 to a tree, plant, branch of the tree or plant, or otherlocation. The ornament assembly 300 may comprise a housing 310 which maybe of different shapes and designs. For example, the housing 310 may bedesigned in order to increase the aesthetic appeal of the assembly 300.For example, the housing 310 may be a decorative shape and designsimilar to a Christmas ornament. Alternatively, the housing 310 may bedesigned to be concealed by the Christmas tree. For example, the housing310 may be green and a small shape intended to be hidden near the trunkof the tree. The housing 310 may comprise a single piece or may be madeof multiple pieces. For example, the housing 310 may comprise two piecesthat are connected together with fastening devices (e.g., screws, tabs,clasps, buttons, etc.). This may allow for ease of access to theinternals in the case of troubleshooting, repair, cleaning, or for otherreasons.

A fluid pump 320 may be contained within the housing 310. The fluid pump320 may be any type of pump which can be used to pump fluids. In oneembodiment the fluid pump 320 may be a water pump. The fluid pump 320may comprise an inlet 330 and a discharge 340. Coupled to the fluid pump320 may be a control mechanism 350. The control mechanism 350 maycontrol the fluid pump 320. For example, with the control mechanism 350in the “ON” position, the fluid pump 320 may operate. If a fluid isintroduced to the system, this operation of the fluid pump 320 may causea flow of fluid between the inlet 330 and discharge 340 of the fluidpump 302. With the control mechanism 350 in the “OFF” position, thefluid pump 320 may cease to operate. In other words, operation of thecontrol mechanism 350 may cause the fluid pump 320 to turn off and on.

The control mechanism 350 may include a simple mechanical on/off switch,for example 390. In one embodiment, the control mechanism 350 maycomprise an electronic controller, for example, an embedded controller,microprocessor chip, combination of controller chips, or the like. Inone embodiment, the electronic controller may be controlled by aninformation handling device (e.g., timer, smart phone, smart watch,tablet, etc.). For example, in one embodiment the control mechanism maycommunicate wirelessly with a user's smart phone. Using the informationhandling device a user may be able to control the control mechanism 350,thereby causing the fluid pump 320 to turn off and on. In other words,using the information handling device a user may be able to water theChristmas tree without having to be near the tree.

The electronic device may be associated with an electronic system or asystem which communicates with systems in the house over the internet.For example, a user may a system which allows the user to controlelements of their house, for example, WINK, CONTROL4, or other similarhome control systems, that an embodiment may connect with. WINK is aregistered trademark of Wink, Inc. in the United States and othercountries. CONTROL4 is a registered trademark of Control4 Corporation inthe United States and other countries. Other control mechanisms 350 areknown in the art and are contemplated.

Coupled to the control mechanism 350 may be a power source 360. Thispower source 360 may provide the power required to run the fluid pump320. Additionally, this power source 360 may provide the power requiredto run the control mechanism 350 if the control mechanism requireselectrical power. Alternatively, an embodiment may comprise twodifferent power sources to provide power to the fluid pump 320 and thecontrol mechanism 350 individually. The power source 360, in oneembodiment, may comprise a battery. This battery may be a conventionalhousehold battery, for example, AA, AAA, C, similar type of battery, ormultiple batteries. Alternatively, the battery may be a battery pack.

The power source 360 may alternatively comprise a more complicatedsystem which uses alternating current (AC) power. In one embodiment,this type of power source 360 may comprise a power supply which uses ACpower. The power source 360 may comprise an AC/DC converter whichconverts AC power to DC (direct current) power. The power source 360 maycomprise a step-down transformer. The power source 360 may comprise avoltage splitter. The power source 360 may comprise additional circuitswhich supply one voltage or voltage type to the fluid pump 320, forexample, if the fluid pump 320 requires AC power, and one voltage orvoltage type to the control mechanism 350, for example, if the controlmechanism 350 requires DC voltage. In an embodiment operating using ACpower, the embodiment may additionally comprise a power plug. This powerplug may be plugged into a typical AC receptacle, for example, at theend of a light string on the tree or in a wall outlet.

In one embodiment, the assembly 300 may include a speaker which may beused to provide sound. For example, one embodiment may include a circuitwhich plays music or makes a sound while the fluid pump 320 isoperating. As another example, an embodiment may make a sound when thefluid pump 320 has turned on and another when the fluid pump 320 hasturned off. In such an embodiment, the power source 360 may additionallyprovide power to speaker and associated circuit. In one embodiment amicrophone may be included, allowing a user to program a certain soundor noise to be played. For example, a user may record their voice to beplayed when the fluid pump 320 is turned on.

The assembly 300 may additionally comprise a first aperture 370 and asecond aperture 380. These apertures 370 and 380 may be through thehousing. In one embodiment the first aperture 370 may be connected tothe inlet 330 of the fluid pump 320. The second aperture 380 may beconnected to the discharge 340 of the fluid pump 320. The connection maybe a direct connection, for example, the fluid pump 320 may bepositioned in such a way in the housing 310 that the inlet 330 anddischarge 340 are touching the housing 310. Alternatively, an embodimentmay comprise a connection mechanism for the inlet 330 and discharge 340to connect them to the apertures 370 and 380. The apertures 370 and 380may include a connection mechanism for connecting a fluid transferdevice (e.g., tubing, piping, etc.). For example, the connectionmechanism may be a threaded fitting, compression fitting, or other typeof connection mechanism.

The apertures 370 and 380 may be positioned in different locations onthe ornament assembly 300. For example, the apertures 370 and 380 may belocated at opposite sides of the ornament assembly 300 (e.g., top andbottom, left and right side, etc.). Alternatively, in one embodiment thesecond aperture 380 may be located at a lower portion of the ornamentassembly 300, for example, on the bottom. This may assist in providingan efficient fluid flow.

One embodiment may additionally comprise a fluid transport device (e.g.,tubing, piping, etc.). The term tubing will be used for ease inreadability, but the other types of fluid transport devices arecontemplated. One embodiment may additionally comprise a first andsecond section of tubing. One section of tubing may be connected to thefirst aperture 370 and the second section of tubing may be connected tothe second aperture 380. The first section of tubing may provide a fluidtransport device for fluid from a reservoir (e.g., a bucket or othercontainer on the floor or table). The second section of tubing mayprovide a fluid transport device from the ornament assembly 300 to thetree container or water reservoir. This second tubing may include someattachment mechanisms for attaching the tubing to the tree. For example,if a user wants the tubing to follow the trunk of the tree, anembodiment might include attachment mechanisms for accomplishing this.

In one embodiment, the second section of tubing may comprise a sensor.This sensor may be a water level sensor that detects when the waterlevel of the tree reservoir is below a particular level. This sensor maybe connected to the control mechanism 350 and may send a signal to thecontrol mechanism 350 to activate the fluid pump 320 if the sensor getsbelow a certain level. This sensor may include more than one sensor. Onesensor may be used to detect if the water level is below a certain leveland the other may detect whether it is above a certain level. Forexample, if the water level drops below a bottom sensor, this mayactivate the fluid pump 320. Once the water level rises to the level ofthe second sensor, the fluid pump 320 may be turned off. A sensor couldalso be located on the first section of tubing which may alert the userwhen the level of the reservoir needs to be refilled.

Accordingly, as illustrated by the example embodiments and the figures,an embodiment provides a method for watering a plant without requiringthe user to lift the heavy water or touch the plant. Additionally, asingle reservoir can be used to water multiple plants and trees whichmay reduce the number of trips a user has to make with heavy water andadditionally reduces the amount of time a user spends in watering allthe plants. The user can just fill up a single reservoir and water alltheir plants at the same time. Using the pump system described hereinthe reservoir can be placed in any convenient location without having toworry about whether a gravity feed system will work. Additionally, usingthe electronically controlled embodiment allows a user to water theirplants and trees even when they are away from home. Thus, theembodiments described provide a more efficient way of watering plantsand Christmas trees.
